CAES, founded in 1964, is a not-for-profit professional organization of teachers and professors of ancient Latin and Greek, which seeks to advance interest in, and the study of the classical languages and civilizations in the schools and colleges of New York State. As an organization, our goals are as follows:
To stimulate active interest in all aspects of Graeco-Roman civilization and its contribution and relevance to the modern world.
To strengthen the position of Latin and Greek, and the study of Graeco-Roman civilization, at all levels in the curricula of both private and public schools throughout the state.
To bring about a closer association and cooperation among other organizations everywhere whose objectives are similar to those of our own.
Each year, CAES hosts an Annual Institute, which is one of our primary means of meeting our organizational goals and providing professional development opportunities for our members.
We partner with the following Regional Organizations:
